ADJUSTMENTS.

Dan Kelly and Miss Joan Craven closed
avery successful engagement last night at
the Academy. Both are recognized favor
ties, and they will always be welcome in
Richmond. The same is true of Tom and
Dolly, Baby Cutler, Albaugh, Fenton, and
others OF the fine company.
Owing to a disappointment in one com
pany not fulfilling their engagement, it Is
probable that the Academy will be closed
Tuesday and Wednesday,
Thursday at the matinee Edward Han
ford will appear in " Partners in Crime"

uations and at the same time replete with
humor. Mr. Hanford has with him well
selected support.
Louis james and Miss Wainwright in the
Legitimate.

tress closed their engagement last night
in "Othello" Mr. James impersonation
of OtleIJo may be fairly said to rank with
the very best on the American stage. AS
D6sdem0nd, Miss Wainwright had the full
ness of voice and complete wOmanhood
that lent a charm to this role, and both
The lovers of the legitimate have this
week enjoyed a rich treat.
AS Virginius, Hamlet, BeHedick, and
OtheLl0, Mr.. James achieved legitimate
and unquestioned success, and he was
successful without the aid Of any theatri-
cal clap-trap.
As Virginia, Miss Wainwright was
graceful and tender; as Oph6lia, she was
delicate, refined and charming as Beat-
rice, she was beautiful, artistic and fin
ished, and as UeSdcmORG, she was de-
lightful picture, and scored grand sue
cess.
The support all through was excellent,
and Louis James and Marie Wainwright
will always rank as bright stars in the
memory of all who saw them.
Janish at the Theatre.
Next Thursday nights Madame Janish
Countess Arco) begins an engagement of
three nights and one matinee at the The

and has with her her own company of
frst-class artists. Her engagement is ex-
pected to be one of the fashionable sue
cessses of the season.
The repertoire has not been announced,
but she will certainly appear in her
master piece, Sardau's great play, Prin-
cess Andrea in which her wonderful
power as an emotional actress has full
scope Janish brings with her good
company, and her costumes, designed by
Felix, of Paris, are said to be as fine as
any ever worn on an American stage.
1t is also probable that she will present
Camille" in which she is uneXCelled.

Il NEW DANGER.


The prohibition expidemic seems to
be spreading, and now it has attacked
the pet vice of the ladies, chewing
gum. The following clipping from the
st. Louis GlObe-Democrat, relative to
the terrible experiences from that city,
should serve as warning to unsophis-
ticated travelling man in Kansas. We
are afraid, however, that, like the
Murray law, the provisions of the
pledge referred to below will be found
capable of being evaded:
A st. Louis drummer named Weeks.
who is very generally known in society
circles here, stepped into the Laclede
hotel yesterday and stopped at the
news stand to buy and light a cigar.
The gentlemanly solicitor travels for a
lead and oil concern, and is kept busy
when he starts out to sell goods
through his territory, but he tries to
find time when away to keep his social
accomplishments from growing dim,
and never loses an opportunity to burn
ish them by extending his circle of &C
quaintance in the towns which he
visits.
II got the toughest deal I've had for
long time on my last trip, when l
struck White City, Kansas, . said he.
leaning over the counter, when he had
lit his cigar, and addressing a friend
conhdentially. II know some Young
ladies there who are quite tony and
pretty, and really the cream of the
town, and, after supper the first day 1
got there. l strolled around to call on
one of them. There was to be an en-
tertainment in town the next night.
and when l was starting home / asked
her to let me accompany her there. In
stead OF answering, she just pointed to
card stuck in frame over the man.
tel-piece and signed with her name. 1
copied it ON the spot, and this is it:
L, the undersigned, do solemnly
promise, God helping me, to abstain
from the use of chewing-gum and
slang, and also abstain from and use
my influence against the use of tobac-
90 and Intoxicating liquors.
Furthermore promise that l will not
keep regular company with any one
who know uses tobacco, strong drink
or profane language.
Il knew" continued the drummer.
that she knew / smoked, for she had
seen me with cigar in my hand that
afternoon when she met me on the
street. tried to beg out of it, on the
White City rules apply to
travelling man, but she
wouldn't have it, and the best could
do was to induce her to make the en-
gagement with me in return for a
promise that / would walk in the
straight and narrow path while in
town. / was in the place four days,
and every time l wanted to smoke /
had to go up in the hotel and lock my
self in my room. If I had been de-
tected my young lady acquaintance
wouldn't have looked at me on the
street. More than two-thiIds of the
girls in the town belong 20 the society
that had got up this pledge, and they
had got the young men so demoralized
that half of them had sworn of from
